Halo 5: Guardians is officially announced

Just a couple of days ago, Bonnie Ross, general manager of 343 Industries, announced the upcoming game of the Halo franchise, called "Halo 5: Guardians". It is planned to be released to Xbox One in the fall of 2015. He stated in the announcement:

"Iâ€™m happy to reveal that â€œHalo 5: Guardians,â€ the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief, will launch on Xbox One in fall of 2015. In the tradition of every â€œHaloâ€ game since its debut in 2001, it is a massive and exciting project.

â€œHalo 5: Guardiansâ€ is a bigger effort than â€œHalo 4.â€ That applies to the content and scope of the game, as well as the technology in whatâ€™s now a brand new and more powerful engine. Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but weâ€™ve invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox Oneâ€™s hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen.

Itâ€™s a game that will hopefully demonstrate the talent, learnings and abilities of the 343 Industries team. A game that will incorporate the things we learned from â€œHalo 4â€ about technology, aesthetics, performance and scale â€“ and perhaps more importantly, understanding and embracing a community of gamers who love what lies at the heart of this game, and the limitless potential of the â€œHaloâ€ universe."

Of course, Halo has always moved onto the next console. Halo 1 & 2 on Xbox but once the 360 came out Halo 3 was 360 only. Halo is a system seller game for Microsoft, which means it will always be on new hardware to hopefully get people to buy said new hardware. It's annoying for 360 owners but at least Halo will be the best game it can be. 360 owners will have something to look forward too when they finally upgrade ^^

Halo 4 was handled pretty well but it's still not Bungie, I'm honestly more looking forward to Destiny (by Bungie) than the next Halo and Destiny even has a chance at coming to PC (already on PS). That said I really hope 343 doesn't screw up Halo and they probably hope so too lol, that's not a good thing to have on ones resume.
